No other gaming company seems to do as much for open source as Valve. Microsoft finances its closed source XBox platform, Sony does the same with Playstation. Epic? Nope.

this is why you should always use localhost 😉

I agree that shutting down a games servers while leaving a singplayer mode still can be a bad move and will give team fortress 2 as an example.

• people can buy cosmetics in the game, but some may only buy them for their appearance on the multiplayer servers to other players
• 90% of the games depth with strategy comes from competing with other humans
• the bots in the singleplayer mode of the game are quite stupid, especially if you play as a spy

If a game has a mode that works in singleplayer without itnernet connection is it covered by this initiative? Since that would not require further support by the developer?

“You can not buy intelligence”

But the product of appearing intelligent is sold: private Education. Also you need to be able to afford the right condition: Not starving to death to appear intelligent, afford food & afford some water without lead contamination (since lead in the water lowers IQ), lead pipes where used for drinking water in poorer areas … Also research and innovation costs lot of upfront capital investment and connections nowadays.

By ceramic dust you mean it is not poisonous? Or are some rare earth materials / heavy metals in there that poison drinking water?

Since Lemmy is an open source platform it is incredibly easy to build automated bots to spam it. I suggest looking for quality user Profiles to follow, and see what communities they posted on to find high quality communities.

Emperor “Hong”. I could not imagine a better name for someone making this argument.

Old shredded hard drives are also produced by data centers? But I guess these locals want to see some profit from their neighboring data center.

yep sometimes the simple things, like building a house in minecraft, are the cool ones :) I am the kind of player to build the dirt house, or just build a underground base in some cave I started digging for iron/coal.

Should automation with Robots and Mashines not beat slave labor in the long term since the industrial revolution started? … Or the scary part is combining slavery with automation for an even cheaper system than just automation in a free society?

Also:

• Our product might be wrong sometimes, in those critical moments when the system encounters a new unseen problem not in its training dataset.
• Our system might output a lot of junk data by design or accident robbing your clients time

I also had the same experience; sometimes the flatpak package is the most useful one, since its newer Version now supports feature X by default.

Meta: This is a great meme in text form. This shows memes do not always have to include images.

lmao my etc/nixos/configuration.nix file is a mess, I have a huge list of programs and programming languages I use in packages = with pkgs; [ .... no flakes no modules… so the meme does not check out for me… but at least I got i3-window manager working using the wiki

Let me summarize the glory of the meme for people who do not get all the distributions references in textual form (and as a check if I get the references): The image shows the branding image of a bunch of operating systems and Linux distributions with memes … descriptions follow – left to right top to bottom:

• Debian: Smiling old men with tea meme, since it is so standard 0815
• Arch Linux: Overweight NPC meme in his room Anime collection in background
• Ubuntu: Money Meme (because big Cooperation sponsors Ubuntu I guess?)
• LFS (Linux from scratch a Distro where you build everything from scratch to learn how the linux system works): it has some Spongebob meme where Computer science P.h.ds get instructed by a wise snail who is an LFS user
• Manjaro: guy who looks cool from the front but his ass is visible in a mirror behind him
• Open-Suse: Chad-Meme (I guess the creator of the meme loved suse)
• Linux-Mint: Weird guy who wants to be cool with a skateboard… I guess since Linux-mint is so easy to use??
• gentoo linux and void linux: Stone age survivor in the woods with old tools (since you build everything from scratch with simple tools in these distros)
• Garuda Linux: guy with flashy LED-strips built into his shoes and expensive gaming laptop trys to be cool with sunglasses
• Pop-Os/Ubuntu: They are clones of each other, since they are all debian/ubuntu based
• fedora: Psychopath American Psycho movie meme
• Kali: Hacker with sunglasses on Laptop guy meme
• Windows: Guy with a clone of himself behind him holding a gun. (viewing the Candy-Crush advertisement in the start-menu be like:)
• Nixos, OpenBSD: Lonely guy sitting on a chair, staring into the void, he seems to be at peace.
• Apple: Golden luxury toilet, 5 stars
• Tux sits on a white Porsche racing car overtaking chromeOS sitting in a spongebob meme car, Apple with a cool Porsche red racing car behind.
